IMPROVEMENT IN CHRISTMAS-TREE` BRACKETS.

Specitication forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,603, dated June 13,1876; application filed May 22, 1876.

To all lwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST DAHLER, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Christmas-Tree Bracket., of whichthe following is a specitication:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a side elevation of myimproved Christmas-tree bracket, andl Fig. 2 a top View of the same.

and vwith candle-holders a't both ends.

In the drawing, A represents the bentmetallic strip or band, that ismade Wit-h a central spring loop or clamp, a, by which it is securelyattached to the branches of the Christmas-tree. The strip or band A isbent outwardly in the shape of an inverted U, forming symmetrical armsthat are provided at the ends with candle holders or supporters B, intowhich/candles of equal size are placed, so as to be balanced when placedon the tree. It furnishes thus a simple and more conven'- ient doublecandle holder than the single brackets heretofore in use.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patentv 1. A candle holder or bracket for Christmastrees,made ot' a symmetrically-bent central part, with candle supports orhandles at the ends, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A candle holder or bracket for Christmastrees made otl a symmetrically-bent part, with central spring loop or clamp, and balancingcandle holders or supports at the' ends, substantially as set forth anddescribed.
